Iโm sorry โฆ thatโs gotta be toughโฆ
@Sp1999 Yeah ๐ญ๐ญ its fine though im used to it
Iโm so sorry ๐๐ข remember u are loved and not alone๐ค๐ make sure to spend time and connect with people that support you and do understand ocd, like the support groups here on nocd, they have them everyday of the week๐ if u feel comfortable, at some point share with your family that it hurts u when they act like that, you can even write it out in a note instead of face to face if thats more comfortable ๐ค remember to be extra kind to yourself and practice self compassion skills , treating yourself like u would a good friend going thru same thing as you are๐ค๐ also, itโs ok to take some space away from them when u need to. Praying for you and sending hugs, hang in there๐ค๐๐
@one step at a time๐๐๐ Thank you so much ๐ญ๐๐ youโre very sweet
Iโm truly sorry ocd especially SO-OCD is no joke. You arenโt alone I promise and just remember things will get better even if it doesnโt feel like it now. Iโm rooting for you. You got this!!
@AmandaB345 Thank you ๐โจ
Honestly ocd has been so tough these past months, like I wake up in the morning thinking I accidentally hurt my whole family and just donโt remember. And I start to question so much. And freak out thinking that I did. If anyone can relate I would love to hear from you ;) and any things that may helped you
So I recently got diagnosed with ocd, and due to me growing up in a household who doesnโt believe in it I have an even harder time grasping if itโs a real diagnosis or not. I know it is but my parents still get mad at me when I tell them not to reassure me and things like that, since they donโt want to understand me anytime. They always put the blame on me and they do everything and how Iโm ungrateful. I am very greatful but I told my mom to try to understand this condition but she refuses to, my dad just completely ignores that it exists. Itโs just hard to cope around it and not be stuck in a loop, Iโm leaving in a few months after graduating so hopefully that will help. Itโs hard when my parents donโt want to try to understand what I go through.
im seeing everyone getting accepted by their colleges and im having a really hard time not comparing myself. I feel like my pure ocd has taken up my life and I wish my mind let me believe that I could work hard enough for these universities that I wanted to apply to. I feel so much embarrassment and shame in myself for having to stay in my hometown while everyone goes away to college. I canโt blame everything on my ocd, im still having a hard time accepting that I have it, I just wish I was better
